Subject: [PATCH v2] net: dhcp6: Send DHCPv6 using multicast MAC
Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2025 13:48:45 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250324204845.25603-1-seanedmond@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)
From: Sean Edmond <seanedmond@microsoft.com>
In IPv6, the broadcast MAC address is not used. Instead, it should use
the multicast address (see RFC RFC2464).
Add IPV6_ALL_NODE_ETH_ADDR macro for clarity.
Signed-off-by: Sean Edmond <seanedmond@microsoft.com>
